Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have powered the Boston Celtics to the best record in the NBA this season. Tatum is playing at an MVP-level while Brown is sure to make his second All-Star appearance. After Sunday's win on the road against the Brooklyn Nets, Brown's statline of 34 points and ten rebounds put him alongside Tatum as the only two players in the league this season to have multiple games of at least 30 points and ten rebounds with five made three-point shots as per the Twitter page StatMuse.

Jayson Tatum has reached that statline five times this season including the first game of the year against the Philadelphia 76ers when he put up 35 points and 12 rebounds. He reached that mark most recently in a win over the Miami Heat on Nov. 30 with 49 points and 11 rebounds. Jaylen Brown has reached that mark two times this season. His first came on Friday albeit in a loss against the Heat when he had 37 points and 14 rebounds. He reached that mark again on Sunday.
